carabao cup predictions

Fulham vs Sheffield Wednesday

Date and time: September 23rd, 7pm

Location: Craven Cottage

Fulham will be hoping to avoid an upset when they welcome Sheffield Wednesday on Wednesday night. They have lost their first two games in the Premier League, while the Owls have cut their 12-point deduction in the Championship to eight with a win and a draw. Garry Monk’s men have impressed and we think they are well placed to win this game, adding great value to our acca. 

Result: Sheffield Wednesday win 10/3 @ Bet365

Chelsea vs Barnsley

Date and time: September 23rd, 7:45pm

Location: Stamford Bridge

Chelsea’s extra squad depth makes them an ideal side to go far in the Carabao Cup this season. Frank Lampard will likely ring the changes, offering the likes of Tammy Abraham the chance to shine here. Whatever team they put out, they should be one of the bankers on Wednesday’s bill. We think they’ll come through this one fairly easily against a Barnsley side who are winless in two Championship games so far this season.

Result: Chelsea win 1/6 @ Bet365

Fleetwood Town vs Everton

Date and time: September 23rd, 7:45pm

Location: Highbury Stadium

Joey Barton has never hidden the fact that he supports Everton, and this will be the biggest test of his career to date as he welcomes Carlo Ancelotti to Highbury. It is a potential banana skin for the Toffees, given that Fleetwood have won all three home games this season, but even with considerable changes, they should have enough to come through.

Result: Everton win 2/5 @ Bet365

Leicester City vs Arsenal

Date and time: September 23rd, 7:45pm

Location: King Power Stadium

Leicester meet Arsenal in probably the tie of the round on Wednesday. Mikel Arteta will be looking to add the Carabao Cup to his FA Cup win last season, while Brendan Rodgers’ men reached the semi finals and will want to go a step further. Both sides have made perfect starts to the Premier League season, with the goals flowing. But Arsenal look a little more defensively solid, and we think they’ll edge this one.

Result: Arsenal win 6/4 @ Bet365

Morecambe vs Newcastle United

Date and time: September 23rd, 7:45pm

Location: Mazuma Stadium

This one could be the biggest on this five-fold. Newcastle are overwhelming favourites, but they were lucky to get past Blackburn Rovers in the last round before being outclassed by Brighton at the weekend. They should prove too strong, but don’t be shocked if Steve Bruce’s men come unstuck. Morecambe draw no bet at 10/1 with Bet365 as a stand-alone bet cannot be ignored.

Result: Newcastle win 2/7 @ Bet365

Odds correct as of 21/9/2020
